Sermons on Perfect Obedience:

Faith In The Fire Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 2, 2017

The three Hebrew men faced a great dilemma - bow to the king's image or face the fiery furnace. When confronted by the king, they were quick to respond. Our God is able to deliver; but if He doesn't, we still won't bow. We need that type of faith today!

Faith in the Fire Daniel 3: 12-27 As we continue the Conquerors series, one of the greatest accounts of overcoming insurmountable odds and obtaining victory is found in the book of Daniel. Along with Daniel and the majority of Judah, three young men had been taken captive into Babylon. While ...read more

Conformed To Unity - Philippians 2:1-4 Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 19, 2016

With the exception of faithfulness to sound, biblical doctrine, nothing is more essential to the prosperity of the church than unity. In fact, sound doctrine without unity will profit little. When love is present, unity also will be.

Conformed to Unity Philippians 2: 1-4 As we move into chapter two, we quickly discover these verses are a continuation of the previous passage. Phil.1:27 – Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of ...read more

Cultures In Conflict Series

Contributed by Lynn Malone on Nov 15, 2016

Christian culture and worldly culture often clash. How do faithful disciples of Jesus Christ respond when cultures come into conflict?

Our text today reflects two cultures that are in great conflict, and even though they were people from different cultures, the conflict arose over the subject of religion. If you’ve been around church at all, you’ve probably heard the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and the ...read more

Is Jesus Welcome Among Us? Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Aug 16, 2017

As Jesus returned to His hometown of Nazareth for the second time, His reception was any better than the first visit. He was not welcomed among His own people. This passage begs the question - is Jesus really wanted and welcome in the average church?

Is Jesus Welcome among Us? Mark 6: 1-6 I trust we have met tonight to worship the Lord. He is our Savior, the Master of our lives, and the Rock upon which the church is built. Ours isn’t a civic organization conducting community business, but a living organism concerned with heavenly business. ...read more

The Way Of The Cross

Contributed by Anthony Zibolski on Jun 5, 2018

What does it mean to follow Jesus? It means that we be willing to give up everything to follow Him. The journey begins where we are at and ends where God wants us to be. It starts by way of the cross.

The way of the Cross Mark 8:34-38 Mark chapter 8:34-38 Prayer- Introduction- Last week we looked at some of the words of Jesus to his disciples.

A God Given Purpose

Contributed by Travis Leib on May 31, 2015

Be assured, God has a purpose for His people. Idleness is never an option.

Certainly one of the most frequent question I deal with as a Pastor, is the question of "What is my purpose?" It is the purposeless life that finds itself in discontent, discouragment, depression, and is a leading factor of suicide. No purpose. Useless. Yes, those are extremes. But, do not ...read more
